Are there any current or past NP students on this forum? I am a bit concerned about getting decisions from other programs earlier in the year and still waiting for Drexel's decision. Anyone have any experience with this situation? What did you do?

I also applied to for Adult /Gero (the certificate)-- my app is almost complete (just waiting for them to upload some of the last documents). I was told that if apps are complete by end of Jan, they do a review and there may be a decision in March. Otherwise, I guess it's June.

I am of course concerned about clinicals as I live in Philly and there are a ton of nursing schools--I'm sure clinicals are sporifice.

Hi! there

My app has been complete for a few days. My enrollment counselor called the other day to let me know that an early review would be done end of January . She said that I might expect to be notified of a decision in 4-6 weeks (from end of Jan). She said she would give me a call if she saw a decision posted.

That's all I know!

Thats great to know! Thanks for sharing that bit of information with me. Let's keep our fingers crossed. The wait is a bit agonizing. Did you apply to any other programs?

I did-- I applied to Georgetown and also to Purdue Global--I guess I got in to Purdue Global (?) because they are asking me for a tuition deposit and they are evaluating my transfer credits now. Purdue might cost about 20 K--similar to .

I may hear from Georgetown, also in the next month--it's very $$$ though, even for the post msn certificate --could be as much as 50K depending on the credits I can apply from the MSN. Sigh...

Let's hope --good news for all!

I submitted my application in February/March is and heard back the 1st week of May. I started Fall 2018 and I have been really impressed with their online program. Finding your own clinical sites is a pain, I start clinical in the summer and it's been rough, but not for everyone. Happy to answer any questions about the program. I am in the Dual Peds program.

That's awesome RNbannanie, so glad you are enjoying the program-- so, does help *at all* with the placement or are you really just left out there on your own? Has everyone been able to find clinical sites? Would a student need to delay or drop out if there aren't sites? I'm really worried because I am in Philly .... I'm sure it's completely saturated.
